Nicolas Peduzzi spectacularly tackles a demanding topic: his camera follows a tireless doctor, incessantly running through the corridors of a huge Paris hospital. Jamal, the hospital's only psychiatrist, tirelessly attends to demanding patients—these residents run the gamut from a tourist overwhelmed by religious fever to a dealer hiding in the hospital haven from angry debtors. Depressed adolescents, often after suicide attempts, make up an increasingly large group. Jamal tries to help everyone, despite budget cuts and the absurd requirements of hospital bureaucracy, and counter to common sense, which suggests that the problem is not the patients but a sick system.
